Senate Confirms Doug Burgum To Lead Interior Department, Advances Chris Wright's Nomination for Energy Secretary
January 30, 2025
The Senate voted Thursday evening to confirm former North Dakota governor Doug Burgum (R.) to lead the Interior Department and, in a subsequent vote, teed up a floor vote to consider the nomination of fracking executive Chris Wright as energy secretary.
Burgum's confirmation was approved in a bipartisan 79-18 vote. The vote to advance Wright's nomination to a floor vote passed in a 62-35 vote. Sen. Martin Heinrich (D., N.M.), the ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and a noted climate hawk, voted alongside Republicans despite his ideological differences with the two nominees.
The back-to-back votes represent significant milestones for President Donald Trump's "energy dominance" and "drill, baby, drill" agenda. Trump has vowed to pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy that encourages increased oil and gas production, rolls back environmental regulations, and treats energy policy as a matter of national security.
